The 40 Most Inappropriate Children's Book Covers

We want to offer all of you an apology. We asked our readers to photoshop us some "inappropriate children's book covers." This seemed like such a simple, innocuous idea because quite frankly there is nothing as innocent as a child and there is no more wholesome activity than reading.

More than 400 entries later, we realized how tragically, horribly wrong we were. We have ordered the following entries roughly from least disturbing to most, and the very worst have been placed safely at the end. We recommend no one look at them.

At the very end we have placed the winner, who will receive five thousand pennies, which is $50. Again, we're sorry.

We apologize in advance for the eight most offensive entries, #8 to #1.
